User-friendly mud engineering software

Built by mud engineers, for mud engineers.

MudOps is the easy way to run your day on the rig. The daily mud report, the calculations and the inventory live in one simple program that works with or without internet.

  • Windows and Mac
  • Made for U.S. land rigs
  • No internet needed

Enter the day once. The report builds itself.

MudOps at a glance

  • Works offline

    No internet, no login, no server. It runs on the rig laptop.

  • One place for the day

    Report, calculations, inventory and cost, together.

  • Easy to learn

    Help on every screen and a worked example for every calculator.

  • Always improving

    New releases keep coming. We never stop building.

What it does

One program for the whole day on the rig.

Set the well up once. After that, every screen, every calculation and every report uses the same well, so you stop typing the same numbers twice.

  • Daily mud report

    Fill in seven simple pages: Well, Mud, Pump, Inventory, Volume, Remarks and Log. MudOps builds the daily drilling mud report in the standard API format, as a PDF or Excel file, ready to send.

  • Engineering calculations

    Hydraulics and ECD, kill sheet, hole cleaning, surge and swab, pills, dilution, brine and mud chemistry. Most fill themselves in from your well.

  • Inventory and cost

    Receive delivery tickets, count stock and track every sack. Posting the daily report takes the day's products out of inventory for you, so the stock and the report always agree.

  • Well control and safety

    A one-page kick card for the rig floor, volumetric and stripping worksheets, and checklists that keep a record of each time they are completed.

  • Trends and alerts

    Chart mud weight, rheology, chlorides and cost by date or by depth. MudOps flags the readings that drift outside your mud program.

  • End of well

    The mud recap, the cost summary and the end of well report are built from the days you already entered. Nothing to retype.

Made to be easy

Software that works the way a mud engineer does.

A lot of mud software is hard to use. We know, because we have used it. MudOps is built by people who do this job, to take work off your plate instead of adding to it.

  • Type it once

    Enter the well one time. Depths, hole sizes, pump and pits flow into the calculators and the reports.

  • Start from yesterday

    One button starts the next report from the last one. You only change what changed.

  • It checks your work

    MudOps reviews the day before it files and points out what looks wrong, like a reading outside the plan.

  • Help on every screen

    Each tab has a short how-to, each calculator has a worked example, and the field reference works with no signal.

  • Easy on the eyes

    Light and dark themes and three text sizes, for bright days and night tours.

  • Your work is protected

    Backups that are checked, not just copied, and recovery if the laptop loses power in the middle of a save.

The targets and alerts panel: each mud property with its value, its plan range, its alert limit and a status of within plan, no reading, or above the plan.
Targets and alerts: today's readings checked against your mud program as you type.

See it

Clear screens. No guesswork.

The Mud page of the MudOps daily report: four mud samples side by side, each with where it was taken, its time, mud weight, dial readings, gel strengths and funnel viscosity.
The daily report: up to four mud samples a day, side by side.
The MudOps kill sheet calculator, showing kill mud weight, initial and final circulating pressure and the drillpipe pressure schedule.
Kill sheet: kill mud weight, circulating pressures and the pressure schedule from a few inputs.
The Inventory page of the daily report, listing the products used that day with quantity, unit and unit cost.
Products used: the day's products with quantity, unit and cost, on the report's Inventory page.

Screens show a made-up demonstration well.

Reports

Reports you are proud to hand over.

Every document is built from what you already entered, with your company name on it. Send it with prices, or with prices withheld.

Reliable

Numbers you can trust on the rig floor.

  • 14,000+

    Automated tests

    Every one of them has to pass before a new release goes out.

  • 285

    Calculations on record

    Each one is listed in a formula reference you can print, so a number can be traced back.

  • No guessing

    A blank beats a wrong number

    If an input is missing, MudOps leaves the result blank and tells you why.

MudOps supports the engineer. It does not replace engineering judgment: check every number before you act on it.

What's coming

We are just getting started.

MudOps is new, and it gets better with every release. We will finish the roadmap below, and then we will keep going. We will never stop building.

Available now

What MudOps does today

  • Daily mud report, PDF and Excel
  • 17 engineering calculators and a chemistry bench
  • Inventory, delivery tickets and cost
  • Mud recap, cost summary and end of well report
  • Kick card and well control worksheets
  • Trends, targets and alerts
  • Checked backups and recovery

Up next

What we are working on

  • Field runs on live wells, with fixes from what engineers find
  • Type a value once and see it everywhere it is needed
  • More of the day captured in fewer steps
  • A bigger alert board that watches more of the mud program

On the roadmap

Where MudOps is going

  • Shared inventory across the wells on a pad
  • Send data straight to the operator's system (WITSML)
  • Email a whole well as one file, and combine wells in the office
  • End of well close-out help and a cost export for accounting
  • More engineering tools, shaped by what engineers ask for

These are plans, not promises. The order can change as engineers tell us what matters most.
